Carter Returns For European Tour With Stony Brook

By Sam Neter on August 12, 2011

Former Reading Rocket Danny Carter will return to the UK next week, as his school Stony Brook make the trip across the pond for a European tour.

The 6’9″, 225lb senior headed stateside for the 2008/09 season after being awarded a full scholarship to the NCAA Division 1 school, where he started 28 of 32 games last season.

And make no mistake about it, the 2007 England Under-18 Player of the Year is looking forward to the prospect of playing in his home country:

“Me and all the guys are so excited about coming on this tour. For me personally I get to play in-front of the home crowd and everyone that helped me get to this stage of my basketball career so far.

“It’s something I never thought could have happened when I first moved to the states and I’m real lucky to be in the situation I am now.”

The Seawolves will tip off the tour in Dublin, Ireland, before arriving in England on August 15, taking on a Midnight Madness select team on Aug. 17 at Kingston College Arena and the Milton Keynes Lions on Aug. 18 at MK Lions Arena.

They will then head on to Paris for further exhibition games. The Seawolves return 12 lettermen from last season’s team that advanced to the America East Championship final for the first time in program history.

Tickets for the Milton Keynes game (7.30pm tip), cost £8 and are available on the door, or from the MK Lions website store, whilst tickets for the Midnight Madness game (6pm tip) cost £5 for adults, £2.50 for children and are available on the Midnight Madness website (and I assume on the door as well).

You can find more information about the full tour on Stony Brook’s official website.

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
